It is funny that the final three teams were some of the smallest markets in the league.

Yeah, funny isn't it? Guess that proves that having more fans DOESN'T matter huh? I guess it really does depend on the team (imagine that!). Maybe that'll shut some people up about it... then again probably not. We make up for it by having louder and crazier fans in the fans we do have ;).

$1157.60 in tickets.

3x Game 5, Section 116, Row 2 = $890.75

And just in case

2x Game 7, Section 336, Row who cares, it's upper level already = $266.85

I wanted to get at least one game with really good seats, and then I decided to get some Game 7 tickets too, just in case. I figured IF we do go to Game 7, I DEFINATELY want to be there, but I didn't have as much to spend becauase of the Game 5 tickets so upper level works, as long as I'm there and screaming my fool head off :D.

Plus I plan on going to the arena every away game to watch with the rest of the fans, assuming they do that again this year. They did in 2002, but I haven't heard anything official yet. I'll have to ask my friend who works at the RBC Center.

lucky ****** :)

wow! What a game! The penalty shot was awesome, been a while since I had seen one of those. Sucks that edmonton lost its main goalie though...the backup gooalie made a big mistake that costed the oilers the game...but still a great game. Hope the Oilers win the next game though, and I hope Rolly the goalie is able to come back for the oilers.

Question though, I'm in Colorado, and been watching hockey on OLN. OLN will show the first 2 games, but after that they it anymore. I have Dish network, what channel do I watch?? I can't find the channel RDS. Is it Canadian or american? I don't want to listen to the radio, want to watch a hockey game, much more fun. Tried doing a search on the tv, but doesn't show anything past wednesday.

well it looks like rolly is done for the year. you can see he sprained his right knee if you watch the reply closely.

all of these games should be aired in the US. i have dish network too. yahoo says they'll be on nbc. but they should all be on OLN.

I had high hopes that Edmonton might do it... Now I don't think they can.. So depressing... I wouldn't have minded if Edmonton had played their best, with Roli, and lost.. But now - we won't ever know what would have been if Roli had not been injured.

This city needs this cup badly..

i just hope that other goalie plays well, or at least well enough to TRY and make it a non-factor. but the question will always be there. smith needs to take the blame for that goal, regardless of who's fault it was, and try to leave conklin with a little bit of confidence.

Wow what a match, Cam ward pulled off some amazing saves in the 3rd. Too bad for Edmonton that Roloson picked up an injury, thats going to make it much much harder for the Oilers to win the cup. They still have a chance of course, but don't hold your breath. :p

Ty Conklin is the reason the Oilers finished in 8th. Roloson is also the reason the Oilers got to the playoffs. A lot of Canadians are crying bloody murder because of the alleged hit, but it was the doufus Bergeron who took out his own goalie by plowing Ladd into Roloson.

Any Canadian who knows anything about hockey knows Bergeron is at fault.

I absolutely hate to see a series decided by a factor like injury. Although I want Carolina to win, it's disappointing to win in this manner. It's also too bad my hometown hero Andrew Ladd is being blamed by some. Yet, I can't wait to see that thing when he brings it home!

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By NextGen_Gamer · Posted

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
